[Bldg-sim] Estimating Energy Consumption Using Spreadsheets

[Linda Lawrie]

We always said it was an "engine" for calculations.  Designed to be 
the engine.  Look at our documentation if you think otherwise.

And 3rd parties, at their request, were to step up to the plate and 
provide those interfaces all the domain users love so much.  The 
Government has been highly criticized for any attempts to produce 
full scale commercial software and step on others toes.

to see how far private industry has progressed in terms of providing 
interfaces.
